First of all, how does the defender know, at the beginning of his turn, what the assassin is going to do? On your turn, you don't have the opportunity to wait and see what your opponent is doing and then act in response and have it still be your turn. In game terms, the closest you could come to this would be to Ready an action.Second, since he has the initiative, why wouldn't the greatsword wielding defender run around the corner himself if what he wants to do is attack the assassin? It's only 30 feet. Most characters have that much movement. Maybe I don't get your point.</blockquote>
